In such scapegoating behavior, aggression may be displaced onto items or people with little to no connection to the cause of the aggressors' frustration. Displacement can also act in what looks like a 'chain reaction,' with people unwittingly becoming both victims and perpetrators of displacement.
The associative model does not predict what occurs if a person has never heard of an event and cannot predict what sort of biasing will occur for these responses. [13] Therefore, the associative model, like the boundary effect model, cannot explain all aspects of telescoping but can explain new aspects of telescoping.
Displacement activities occur when an animal or human experiences high motivation for two or more conflicting behaviours: the resulting displacement activity is usually unrelated to the competing motivations. Birds, for example, may peck at grass when uncertain whether to attack or flee from an opponent; similarly, a human may scratch their ...

They blamed those telling them to carry out the orders rather than blaming themselves for the ...
Lorenz's hydraulic model of motivation [ edit ] Animals that were raised without releasing instinctual behaviours, due to being in captivity or being taken as a pet, will produce these vacuum behaviours in seemingly random moments due to a build-up of energy reserves.
